Gel-Stream (Gelstream)

From AC Lighting
The Gel-Stream comes ready to go, straight out of the box. Just fit the scroll, plug it in and away you go. No separate power supply or splitters to boost the price up. You won't need anything extra to change the scroll either, Gel-Stream is the world's only cartridge loading colour changer. No tools, no de-rigging, simply snap out the cartridge and snap in another pre-tensioned 16 colour combination, to ensure a perfect scroll time after time.

Gel-Stream is a high quality cartridge loading colour changer. No tools, no de-rigging, simply remove the cartridge and snap in another pre-tensioned 16 colour combination to ensure a perfect scroll every time. Its rugged construction and sophisticated electronics make the Gel-Stream the ideal choice for most applications. Whether you need lightning fast snap changes for Rock and Roll, quiet operation for the theatre or slow, graceful crossfades for the opera, the Gel-Stream takes it in its stride. Rigging is equally simple, with separate daisy chained cables and a built in safety chain anchor, which ensures the worst could never happen.
